This app is amazing

Especially the map view. So much better and easier to use than the other app I’ve been using. Thanks for making this!

An incredibly promising start

Love to see a new CTA app. This one is lightweight and tailored specifically to Chicagoans. Devs have expressed plans to add buses and then ELTracker will really cook! Thanks to all involved.

Great app for Chicago EL riders!!

Pulls directly from the cta system so the most up to date data. If the CTA worked as well as ELTracker Chicago would have the best transit system in America. No paywall, no ads

Best Chicago Specific App

The only app i’ve seen for chicago that has widgets - and they’re amazing! So excited for the bus feature; this is an essential app for complete CTA information and train arrival times! Amazing siri and accessibility features. Thank you devs <3

Super helpful/reliable

Can’t wait for the bus tracker to be added!

Love it!

Simple design and the live tiles actually update!!!

Widgets are a game changer.

There is literally no other app that shows you departures on a widget, and the smart walk feature is amazing. It’s also the only app where you can ask Siri when the next train is coming. Fantastic app tons of great features.

Love it!

The widgets are beautiful and so intuitive. Cant wait for busses to be added.

PS - Transit stop runs ads and has a far worse UI. If you guys need to put a banner or two on the page to keep the servers running, please do!

Fantastic app and love the widget

ELTracker is super reliable and I love the widget of nearby stations with arrivals. Thanks for the great app!!!

Can’t wait for bus tracking!

I agree with many reviewers here that the widget function is a game-changer. I appreciate the UI and color palette resembles CTA UI as well. Lo único que le falta es poder tener datos de guaguas como widget. 👍

CHICAGO PLEASE HIRE THIS GUY

Great app. Life changing!

The best CTA app

I love how clean and organized ELTracker is. I see only my train stations and bus routes, and nothing more unless I want to. It has been 100% accurate the whole time I have used it. I deleted all my other transit apps since downloading this one.

Features

We also want to make traveling around the city as accessible as possible, which is why we provide low-vision support, ADA accessibility notations, elevator outage push notifications, and multiple languages.

One night, we said, "Why can't I have a widget that shows me when the train is coming?" And from there, EL Tracker was born.

We strive to create technology that has a positive impact on the lives of everyday Chicagoans.

We are Chicagoans, who were irritated by the lack of a simple Chicago transit app.
